Voltammetric behaviour and determination of moxifloxacin in pharmaceutical products and human plasma

The oxidative behaviour of moxifloxacin was studied at a glassy carbon electrode in different buffer systems using cyclic, differential pulse, and Osteryoung square-wave voltammetry. The oxidation process was shown to be irreversible over the entire pH range studied (2.0–10.0) and was diffusion-controlled. The methods were performed in Britton–Robinson buffer and the corresponding calibration graphs were constructed and statistical data were evaluated. When the proposed methods were applied at pH 6.0 linearity was achieved from 4.4×10^–7 to 1.0×10^–5 mol L^–1. Applicability to tablets and human plasma analysis was illustrated. Furthermore, a high-performance liquid chromatographic method with diode-array detection was developed. A calibration graph was established from 4.0×10^–6 to 5.0×10^–5 mol L^–1 moxifloxacin. The described methods were successfully employed with high precision and accuracy for estimation of the total drug content of human plasma and for pharmaceutical dosage forms of moxifloxacin.     

Voltammetric determination of hafnium with calconcarboxylic acid

The interaction of Hf(IV) with calconcarboxylic acid (1-(2-hydroxy-4-sulfo-1-naphtylazo)-3-naphtolic acid) was investigated by cyclic voltammetry varying various factors (pH, ionic strength, contents of ethanol and scan rate). Optimal conditions of Hf(IV) determination in the presence of calconcarboxylic acid were found: acetic buffer solution pH 2.6, scan rate 0.5 Vs⁻¹. The detection limit of Hf(IV) concentration was 2.46 × 10⁻⁷ mol L⁻¹. The influence of foreign ions on the Hf(IV) determination was studied. It was established that some metals like cadmium, nickel, zinc, copper and titanium could be determined with Hf(IV) simultaneously. The method of voltammetric determination of hafnium was tested on model solutions and used in the determination of Hf(IV) in terbium-base alloy.     

Voltammetric determination of salicylic acid in pharmaceuticals formulations of acetylsalicylic acid

The electrochemical oxidation of salicylic acid (SA) has been studied on a glassy carbon electrode using cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetric (DPV) method. SA gives a single irreversible oxidation wave over the wide pH range studied. The irreversibility of the electrode process was verified by different criteria. The mechanism of oxidation is discussed. Using differential pulse voltammetry, SA yielded a well-defined voltammetric response in Britton-Robinson buffer solution, pH 2.37 at 1.088 V (versus Ag/AgCl). The method was linear over the SA concentration range: 1-60 μg ml⁻¹. The method was successfully applied for the analysis of SA as a hydrolysis product, in solid pharmaceutical formulations containing acetylsalicylic acid (ASA).     

Voltammetric studies on some substituted 5-arylidene-2-thiohydantoin in non aqueous medium

Summary Differently substituted 5-arylidene-2-thiohydantoins (2a–f) were studied electrochemically in benzonitrile with 0.1M tetra-n-butylammonium-perchlorate as supporting electrolyte using DC-, cyclic voltammetry (CV), coulometry and controlled potential electrolysis (CPE). These compounds are oxidized in a one two-electron transfer process or in irreversible two successive one-electron processes to the corresponding diradical, which simaltaneously reacts with the solvent to regenerate the starting species. On the other hand the reduction products are the 5-arylidene-4-imidazolidinone-2-thiols.

Amperometric microsensor for direct probing of ascorbic acid in human gastric juice

This article reports on a novel microsensor for amperometric measurement of ascorbic acid (AA) under acidic conditions (pH 2) based on a carbon fiber microelectrode (CFME) modified with nickel oxide and ruthenium hexacyanoferrate (NiO-RuHCF). This sensing layer was deposited electrochemically in a two-step procedure involving an initial galvanostatic NiO deposition followed by a potentiodynamic RuHCF deposition from solutions containing the precursor salts. Several important parameters were examined to characterize and optimize the NiO-RuHCF sensing layer with respect to its current response to AA by using cyclic voltammetry, and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy methods. With the NiO-RuHCF coated CFME, the AA oxidation potential under acidic conditions was shifted to a less positive value for about 0.2 V (E_p of ca. 0.23 V vs. Ag/AgCl) as compared to a bare CFME, which greatly improves the electrochemical selectivity. Using the hydrodynamic amperometry mode, the current vs. AA concentration in 0.01 M HCl, at a selected operating potential of 0.30 V, was found to be linear over a wide range of 10-1610 μM (n = 22, r = 0.999) with a calculated limit of detection of 1.0 μM. The measurement repeatability was satisfactory with a relative standard deviation (r.s.d.) ranging from 4% to 5% (n = 6), depending on the AA concentration, and with a sensor-to-sensor reproducibility (r.s.d.) of 6.9% at 100 μM AA. The long-term reproducibility, using the same microsensor for 112 consecutive measurements of 20 μM AA over 11 h of periodic probing sets over 4 days, was 16.1% r.s.d., thus showing very good stability at low AA levels and suitability for use over a prolonged period of time. Moreover, using the proposed microsensor, additionally coated with a protective cellulose acetate membrane, the calibration plot obtained in the extremely complex matrix of real undiluted gastric juice was linear from 10 to 520 μM (n = 14, r = 0.998). These results demonstrated the unique featuring of the proposed NiO-RuHCF microsensor under acidic conditions with enhanced sensitivity and stability and proved its promising potentiality for direct amperometric probing of AA at physiological levels in real gastric juice environments.     

New microdialysis-electrochemical device for simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid and 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid in rat striatum

A new device combining microdialysis with electrochemical microsensor was developed. It can be applied to monitor the biomolecules in the brain for biological and pharmaceutical research. In this paper, the device was applied to simultaneously determine ascorbic acid (AA) and 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid (5-HIAA) in rat striatum. The microsensor used for the device was poly (sulphosalicylic acid) microsensor, which exhibited a good electrocatalytic effect on oxidization of AA and 5-HIAA. The oxidation currents measured by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) were linear for AA in the range of 0.02-1.0 mmol l⁻¹, and for 5-HIAA from 0.5 to 10.0 μmol l⁻¹ (r=0.9998 and 0.9991, respectively). The detection limits were calculated to be 0.01 mmol l⁻¹ for AA and 0.25 μmol l⁻¹for 5-HIAA (S/N=3). Studies also showed that co-existing substances in biological fluids did not interfere with AA and 5-HIAA determination when using this microsensor. Since, the substances in the microdialysate are easily oxidized by air, the microdialysate in this device was under the protection of N₂. It was found that the concentrations of AA and 5-HIAA in rat striatum were 215±5 and 6.21±0.61 μmol l⁻¹ (mean±S.E.M., n=7), respectively with this device under the protection of N₂. In addition, the effect of the nitric oxide donor, sodium nitroprusside (SNP), on 5-HIAA in the rat striatum was investigated. It was found that a high concentration of SNP (1.0 mmol l⁻¹) resulted in a 34% increase in 5-HIAA level.

Voltammetric behavior and determination of bismuth on sodium humate modified carbon paste electrode

The preconcentration and voltammetric behavior of Bi^III on a sodium humate modified carbon paste electrode was studied by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse stripping voltammetry (DPSV). The proposed measurement involves an initial nonelectrolytic preconcentration step in which Bi^III is complexed by the surface modifier in a solution of 0.05 M KNO₃-0.0106 M HNO₃ (pH 2.0) and a subsequent electrochemical scan step in which the preconcentrated Bi^III was reduced and then oxidized promptly in supporting electrolyte of 0.5 M HNO₃. The resulting DPSV anodic current was proportional to the concentration of Bi^III ion over the range of 4.78 × 10⁻⁸–1.44 × 10⁻⁵ M. The detection limit was 4.78 × 10⁻⁸ M. The proposed method was used to determine bismuth in various samples. Various factors affecting the electrode behavior were also investigated at the same time.

Differential Pulse Voltammetric Determination of L-Cysteine After Cyclic Voltammetry in Presence of Catechol with Glassy Carbon Electrode

An electrochemical method of determination of cysteine has been developed in the solution containing catechol as the indicator. Nucleophilic addition of the thiol species to the electrogenerated o-quinone results in the formation of o-quinone-cysteine adducts that easily accumulate use at the surface of the electrode in the acidic solution. Therefore, the use of cyclic voltammetry leads to the amplification of the o-quinone-cysteine adduct's reductive current. As cyclic voltammetry was performed prior to differential pulse voltammetry, the peak of o-quinone-cysteine could be separated preferentially from o-quinone in the differential pulse voltammogram and the selectivity of the method has been assessed with no interference from ascorbic acid, glycine, L-tyrosine, or L-lysine. The magnitude of o-quinone-cysteine peak is proportional to the concentration of cysteine, and thus it can be exploited to determine cysteine within the injection. The results were consistent with those obtained by means of HPLC analysis.     

Voltammetric determination of alkaline phosphatase and horseradish peroxidase activity using 3-indoxyl phosphate as substrate Application to enzyme immunoassay

The use of 3-indoxyl phosphate (3-IP) as an electrochemical substrate for ELISAs with voltammetric detection was investigated. Indirect measurements of alkaline phosphatase (AP) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) activity in solution were carried out. Picomolar levels of both enzymes can be detected, which enables the design of electrochemical immunoassays using this substrate. The enzymatic turnover of the substrate gives indigo blue, insoluble in aqueous solutions. This product is easily converted into its soluble parent compound, indigo carmine (IC), by addition of fuming sulphuric acid to the reaction media. IC shows a reversible voltammetric peak at the formal potential of −0.15 V (versus Ag pseudo-reference electrode) when a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) is used. The peak current of this process constitutes the analytical signal. Using this approach an ELISA assay to quantify pneumolysin (PLY, a toxin related to respiratory infections) was carried out using AP or HRP as enzymatic label. Calibration plots obtained are reported. 3-IP is demonstrated to be the first suitable substrate for the two most common enzyme labels used in immunoassays.
